We, the undersigned, while recognising the problems faced by Southern Cross Broadcasting with regards to HD television, DO NOT accept that we are any less important viewers than our metropolitan friends.

We therefore call upon Southern Cross Broadcasting to:

1) Provide HD television to regional viewers at the earliest possible opportunity and to make this the number one priority of the organisation, and

2) AS SOON AS HD broadcasting is available in regional areas to repeat EVERY episode of the following shows that regional viewers have missed as a result of Channel Ten's decision to move them to Ten HD: "The Shield", "Veronica Mars", "Smallville", "Battlestar Galactica", "Journeyman", "The 4400", "Torchwood", "Psych", "Monk", "Eureka", "Friday Night Lights" and special sporting events. This should apply to any and all future shows that Channel Ten moves to HD before Southern Cross 10 is capable of multicasting.

We thank Southern Cross Broadcasting for their time in reading our concerns and this petition.
